Their "Battle line broke into disorder and came swarming down the hill, firing and yel I ing." (7) Upon reaching the Confederate wagons, which had become bogged do~n in the creek bottom, their defenders began retreating up the opposite slope-" L It was a ]race for life up the long, open hill-side of plowed ground." (8) A Federal on the battle] ine remarked: "Our skirmishers pursued the enemy up the farther slope until the flashes of their rifles dotted the hillside through the darkness like fireflies." (9)
Structures (Historic)
.\,\C\"~ __ 1. HILLSMAN HOUSE: Located in the boundaries of the State Park, this restored farmhouse V\ serves as the Visitor Center for the battlefield. Although open to the public
sporadically throughout the year, it still remains as an exterior exhibit and focal point for the parks' interpretation.
The house was built around the period of 1750-70, and is an example of early colonial architecture. Its builder, Moses Overton, had a son by the same name who served as a captain in the War of 1812. He and other members of the Overton-Hillsman family (Captain Overton's daughter, Martha, married John A. Hillsman)are buried in a nearby rock walled cemetery.
The story and a half residence exhibits dormer windows and is constructed with hand hewn timbers, wrought iron nails and wood pegs, and features brick nogging daubed in clay, hand crafted gutters, and beaded weatherboarding.
Its role in the battle lay in the fact that it served as a hospital for both Union and Confederate soldiers. Lieutenant George Peck, 2nd Rhode Island Volunteers, who was wounded in the battle, was brought into the house and graphically described what he saw: "I was then placed on the floor of a room in which there were two beds, each occupied by two severely wounded officers, while in the third corner, on the floor, were at least a half dozen more. The only place found for me was in front of one of these beds; my head close beside the hall doorway where stood the operating table, with surgeons working the entire night, my body forming the bound of a passage way to the kitchen door in the fourth corner, whence people continually passed and repassed." Supposedly, stains on the floor, which are still present, are blood stains from the use as a hospital.
2. LOCKETT HOUSE: Although a private residence, this structure has been kept in its original state with very few alterations being added since the war. Bullet and shell holes can still be seen in the weatherboarding and brick chimney. The home has and continues to be int.he ownership of the descendants of James S. Lockett, the builder. The main or front part of the house, known as "Piney View," was built in 1858-9, while the rear wing is of an undetermined age although one of the chimneys bears an obi iterated date of 17 • The farmhouse is of two stories with a high brick basement. It was in the west basement room that the Lockett family sought shelter during the fighting that raged around the house. After the battle, the building and yard served as a hospital.

The present owner allows the house to be viewed as an exterior exhibit and wishes to restore the home in keeping with its place in history as a landmark of one of the Battles of Sayler's Creek.
CHRISTIAN HOUSE: While not directly related to the Battle of Lockett's Farm, this period home was passed by both armies on their way to the Double Bridges cr~ssing of Sayler's Creek. Also, the Federal V Corps camped in the area of this farm on the evening of April 6 after their march through Painesville, Rodophil, and Ligontown.
No information is currently available on this structure and it is presently a private residence.

Statement of Significance {in one paragraph)
On October 26,1937, the Advisory Board on National Parks, Historic Sites, Buildings and Monuments declared that the Sayler 1 s Creek area was classified as of national significance, thus rendering it eligible for inclusion in the National Park System of Historic areas.(10) While their reasons for this classification were not enumerated, it can be assumed that this action was taken because the Battles of Sayler 1 s Creek were: 1).The last major engagement between the armies under General Robert E. Lee and Ulysses S. Grant before the capitulation at Appomattox Court House on Apri\ 9, 1865. They forshadowed the end of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia.
2). Purportedly, the largest surrender of an army without terms took place here. Lee lost 7,700 men (total for all three engagements), plus eight Generals: Ewell, Barton, Simms, Kershaw, George Washington Custis Lee, Dubose, Hunton and Corse. This represe~ted almost one fourth of Lee 1 s effectives.
3). These battles were commanded by some of the most famous military leaders, North and South, of that time. They included such notables as --(Confederates} Richard S, Ewell, Joseph B. Kershaw, G.W.C. lee, Richard H. Anderson, George E. Pickett, Bushrod R. Johnson, and John B. Gordon. (Federal) Horatio G, Wright, Philip H. Sheridan, Wesley Merritt, George A. Custer, George Crook, and Andrews A. Humphreys.
4). The success of the Federal Forces here led to the final downfall of Lee's Army three days later. General Sheridan, in reporting his victory to President Lincoln, (by way of General Grant) wrote: 11 lf the thing is pressed l think that Lee will surrender. 11 Lincoln rep] ied: "Let the thing be pressed. 11
5). Confederate Naval personnel and Marines, along with civilian clerks, fought in this land battle. Commodore John Randolph Tucker commanded the sailors and marines.
6). One of the largest issuance of the Medal of Honor: 49 for the capture of flags, 9 for Gallantry, and 1 for the capture of General G.W.C. Lee; Total= 59
~ Battles 2.f. Sayler•s Creek, April 6, 1865, ~ Narrative
A. Withdrawal from the Richmond-Petersburg Fronts
After nine and a half months of defensive warfare along the 70-mile line connecting these two strategically important Southern cities, General R.E. Lee was forced to abandon his position on the evening of April 2,1865. With the fall of the Confederate Capital and the flight of its government, Lee decided he would attempt a movement to North Carolina where hopefully he could join forces with the Confederate army operating there under General Joseph E. Johnston. Pulling out alt contingents of his army from the lines, he instructed

them all to rendezvous about 30 miles west at Amelia Court House, on the Richmond &
Danville Railroad. Here he hoped he could provide his men_with rations and ammunition, then follow the railroad line south toward Danville. Arriving at Amelia on April 4, Lee was astonished to find there had been a mix-up in his orders to send rations to this town and consequently all he found were trains ladened with ammunition. Seeing no alternative, he decided to postpone his march from this locality and would allow his army to forage in the surrounding countryside. This delay proved disastrous because it lost the one day lead over Grant's army Lee had,_allowing the Federals to move to his front and cut off his line of retreat at Jetersville Station.
B. Movements from Amelia Court House-
While the Union Army (Sheridan's Cavalry, I l,V, and VJ Corps) converged on Jetersville and began entrenching across Lee's path, the Confederate Army commenced its march down the railroad line. When Lee's cavalry scouts informed him of the situation which lay ahead at Jetersville, the commanding General decided not to do battle, but to skirt around the Federal left flank and move toward Farmville. Here Lee felt he could obtain rations for his men, then cut south, and intercept the Richmond &_Danville line near Keysville. This change of plans would bring him to calamity in the valley of Sayler's Creek.
C. Setting up Disaster
As Lee began his movement around the Union Forces, he designated his line of march as -- Lt. Gen. James Longstreet's combined First and Third Corps along with its wagon train in the lead, Lt. Gen. Richard H. Anderson's Corps; Lt. Gen. Richard S. Ewell'Reserve Corps; the main Confederate Wagon Train, and in the rear, Lt. Gen. John B, Gordon's Second Corps. (11) They skirted the entrenched Federals at Jetersville by taking a by-way across Flat Creek and through the Amelia Springs Resort area, and were not detected until most had passed the enemy.
About this time Grant's army became active and the cavalry, followed by the VI Corps, -began moving out on a road that followed the Confederate line of retreat to the south. The I I Corps was sent across Flat Creek and came in contact with Gordon's rear guard near Amelia Springs. The V Corps was sent to the north of Lee's army and would not be included in this day's operations (April 6).
The van (Longstreet) of the Confederates line of marcb moved unmolested the 16 miles to the crossing of Sayler's Creek on the Rice-Deatonsville Road. Upon crossing, they continued on toward Rice's Station on the Southside Railroad. As Anderson's and Ewell's Corps approached the creek, they were deployed to stave off this assault while Longstreet's men kept moving. This allowed a gap to be formed in the line of march, and quick acting Union cavalry took advantage of this. Custer's Division, moving on a by road past Pride's Church and Gill's Mill, cut the Confederate column at_Marshall 's Cross Roads and prepared to give battle once the remainder of Sheridan's cavalry arrived.

In the meantime, Anderson had moved from Holt's Corner, crossed the creek, and ran into Custer's roadblock at Marshall's. He began arranging his two divisions (Pickett's and Johnson's) into a defensive position. Ewell, after negating the Federal cavalry threat at Holt's, moved on toward the creek crossing, but only after instructing the main wagon train to turn north at Holt's and follow the Jamestown Road to a lower crossing of Sayler's Creek at the Double Bridges (Locketts). Gordon, bringing up the rear, and not being informed to do otherwise, also turned off the main road and advanced toward Locketts.
About this time, lead elements of Maj. Gen. Horatio G. Wright's VI Corps began closing on the Confederate column by turning north at Pride's Chu,·ch then west to Holt's Corner. Seeing Ewell's rearguard around the Hillsman House, they set out after them. General Humphreys' I I Corps, still pushing Gordon's rear, turned north at Holt's and continued their contact with him.
D. The Battle of Hillsman's Farm
While Ewell's rearguard (Humphreys' Brigade of Mississippians) held back the advance elements of the VI Corps, the main body of Ewell's troops crossed the creek and began laying out their defensive position on the high ground overlooking this run. This, incidentally, was being carried on at the same time Anderson was doing so a mile down the road at Marsha 11 's.
As two Divisions of the VI Corps (1st & 3rd) began arr1v1ng upon the scene, the Confederate rearguard fell back to the creek and into their lines. The Federals halted around the Hillsman House and proceeded to form into battlelines. While this was transpiring, Maj. Andrew Cowan brought up his artillery and positioned 20 guns in the yard. For approximately 30 minutes, starting around 5:15 p.m., Cowan bombarded the Southern line, while the Confederates had no artillery with which to reply. When a cease fire was called, the two Union Divisions of around 7,000 men moved down the slope to the creek, crossed, and began reforming their 1 ines in preparation for an assault on the heights. At 6:00 the Federal troops began their ascent only to be stopped by a well directed volley by the Confederates. This temporarily broke the momentum of the column, in fact, caused a few regiments to break ranks and retreat back to the creek. Seeing this, a contingent of the Southern forces, without orders, made a counterattack on the Federals and a vicious hand-to-hand combat took place. Only renewed Union artillery fire caused them to retreat back to their 1 ines.
The Union lines were reformed again at the base of the hill and one final assault again took place, this time with success. The Federal forces overlapped the Confederate flanks and began rolling them up. As before, hand-to-hand fighting took place, but gradually the Southern forces started surrendering. Ewell's Inspector General, Maj. James W. Pegram, formally surrendered the entire command to the VI Corps.

Page 3
Simultaneously with the assault by the VI Corps at the creek, Sheridan's three cavalry divisions, commanded by Brig.Gen. Wesley Merritt, assaulted Anderson's position along the Rice-Deatonsville Road. Here the Confederates did have artillery and used it successfully against the Federal horsemen. For various reasons, Anderson's men did not hold their ground as Ewell's men did, and many began retreating in front of the enemy attack. As the blueclad troopers started to pour over the Confederate line, the Southerners 1 it out cross country toward the crossing of Big Sayler's Creek on the road to Rice's Station. Because of this action, the Federal cavalry was then exposed to Ewell's rear and assisted in the capturing of many of his men. A fair number of Anderson's men did escape and joined Longstreet and General Lee to the west.
F. The Battle of Lockett's Farm
Two miles north of the crossing of Little Sayler's Creek at the Hillsman farm, the Jamestown Road crossed the confluence of Big and Little Sayler 1 s Creek over the "Double Bridges." East of this crossing, situated on a commanding ridge, was the Lockett Farm. As the main Confederate Wagon Train moved through this area, it became bogged down in the bottom lands of the creek, and brought the movements of the army to a standstill. Seeing this, Gordon prepared to make a stand, knowing the Federal 11 Corps was on his trail. As the two armies began skirmishing, Gordon's men fell back to the creek and attempted to guard the disabled train. Their stand was quickly repulsed as Federal battlelines pushed on their position, outflanking them and forcing them to retreat up the opposite slope. Darkness brought an end to the fighting and the Union troops pressed no further. This disaster brought a loss of 1,700 prisoners, 3 artillery pieces, 2000 wagons and 70 ambulances, along with 13 battleflags captured from Gordon's command.

VERBAL BOUNDARY DESCRIPTION AND JUSTIFICATION:
0MB No. 1024-0018 E~p. 10-31-84
Page
SECTION 1: Lockett Farm Battlefield (800 Acres)-- This section, composed of numerous tracts, contains the Historic Lockett and Christian Houses. It a1so encompasses a large portion of the battlefield and overnight campsites of t~e Federal VI and V Army Corps. State Routes 618 and 619 are also the Historic Jamestown Road over which both armies traversed. NOTICE: ALL DEEDS AND PLOT MAPS TO THE GARNETT TRACTS ARE ENCLOSED IN A SEPARATE FOLDER. A VERBAL BOUNDRY DESCRIPTION CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THESE. FROM- DEED BOOKS 225,103, & 93; PAGES 680-2, 688-9, 199, & 415 (Prince Edward County)
SECTION 2: Double Bridges Crossing over Sayler's Creek (5 Acres)-- This plot preserves the Jamestown Road crossing aver Little and Big Say\er 1 s Creek. The remains of the two 20th Century bridges exist as well as the old road bed. Currently, Route 619 crosses the creek above the confluence of both streams. This land is controlled by the State Park System.
SECTION 3: Hillsman Farm Batt1efle1d (214.839 Acres)--This area is the main unit of Sayler 1 s Creek Battlefield State Park. It embraces most of the area of the fight between Ewell 1 s Corps and Wright's VI Corps. The Hillsman Farm House is the main center for interpretation of this site. The Historic Gulley Tavern or Rice- Deatonsville Road intersects this tract.
SECTION 4: Marshall Cross Roads (0.599 Acres) Also administered by the State Park, this small tract offers an excellent site to interpret the engagement between Anderson's Corps and Sheridan's Cavalry Corps. The area covering this battle site is presently subdivided into numerous small tracts so it was decided not to include them in this nomination.
ALL DEEDS AND PLOT MAPS TO THE LAND HOLDINGS OF SAYLER 1 5 CREEK BATTLEFIELD STATE PARK ARE CONTAINED IN A SEPARATE FOLDER. VERBAL BOUNDRY DESCRIPTIONS CAN BE OBTAINED HERE. FROM- DEED BOOKS 87,89,94, &101; PAGES 98,253,248,534, & 576 (Amelia County)
